Here are some pics for comparison:


355mm Rotora with 20" Zauber (Bluelex)


332mm Rotora with 20" Lowenhart (Varcity64)


I think this shows the difference in size between the 332 and 355

Understand if you don't track the car, the main benefit of the larger brakes are looks. The larger brakes allow more heat to dissipate and provide for less fade than smaller brakes.

Don't 2nd guess this, since its RARE for people to BBK and RARER for people to choose 1 setup and then go to another.

If you want the 355, just wait and go for it. But there is nothing wrong with 332.

With 20s the 332s are just not going to look big enough although the brakes will be fine.

Like some have already mentioned both kits would work great for your car so it does come down to money and looks. I noticed that you have a similar 5 spoke wheel to what I have. Thats should help with your decision a little. Good luck man.

I think 355s on 19s look perfect. 20s need something a little bigger but I am happy enough with 355s.

I agree that 20s could use 15" rotors.

Here's 15s on 19s (on a 3 series)!

man you can't go wrong with ap racing

and yeah, 15" setup will fit under 20s very nicely, that's if you don't try to look at the price tag i thnk you can almost pick up a front rear stoptech setup with that

ap racing has both 13.5" and 14" setup
